+1 for a logo competition. Then a sub category - (optional) icon set that matches with the submitted logo.
The maker of the winning logo + icon set would have the privilege to be acknowledge (post URL) in the "About PopUp form" of the QGIS releases. I think this would encourage established icon designers (i.e. individuals and companies) to submit their entry for the competition. This event - icon competition would also promotes QGIS. What do you think about the ideas?
